The only common thorium oxide formula is ThO2.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
Thorium can be combined with the majority of non-metals.
Thorium is a tetravalent element. Thorium react slowly with water; thorium can react with concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen chloride. Thorium can react with the majority of other chemical elements. The Pauling electronegativity of thorium is 1,3.
The cost of thorium can vary because it is not commonly traded as a stand-alone element. It is typically priced as part of compounds or mixtures, such as thorium oxide, and the cost depends on factors like purity and quantity purchased.
Magnesium Oxide
For thorium oxide (99,99 %) the price is cca. 100 USD/kg.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
The fermium oxide is not known; the possible formula is Fm2O3.
Thorium oxide is not particularly expensive. Thorium metal is very expensive, but this may be because there is so little demand for it that it has to be specially made when someone wants it.
Thorium can be combined with the majority of non-metals.
The common minerals of thorium are: monazite, thorianite, thorite.
Three oxides of plutonium are known: PuO, PuO2, Pu2O3.
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.

Thorium carbide is a systematic unique name in chemistry.
